Mr Agile Goes To Washington: The Impact of Politics on Agile Projects
, Rachel Davies
In the movie “Mr Smith Goes to Washington”, we follow the journey of an idealistic politician, as he learns to deal with the political side of Washington. Likewise Agilists undertake a journey, where we learn that it takes more than working software that meets business needs for software projects to truly succeed. This workshop aims to bring industry professionals together, to develop and share practices that will help us handle the political situations that face agile projects today.
We welcome position papers from anyone involved in creating software, who has experience with the impact of politics on agile projects.
How to Submit? Please write a 1-4 page paper explaining your experience of how politics may have helped the project succeed and / or prevented the project from being successful. Position papers should be emailed to angela@martinitconsulting.com by Tuesday 22-Jul-2008. If you’d like some advice before submitting, please feel free to contact the workshop facilitators at angela@martinitconsulting.com or rachel@agilexp.com
